Papa calls Durant ‘the best player on the planet’ after Game 1 masterclass

Last year’s Finals MVP took over the WCF opener, powering 119-106 win

The day after Kevin Durant put 37 points on the Houston Rockets in the Warriors’ Game 1 win in the Western Conference Finals, Greg Papa took the opportunity to explain just how impressed he was by that performance.

“The reality is, Kevin Durant, and I’m waiting for all of you to acknowledge it and the guy in Northeast Ohio, when he loses, he’ll still say, ‘Well, I’m the best player on the planet.’ No, the best player on the planet is Kevin Durant,” Papa said on 95.7 The Game. “And it’s not even a question.”

“He is a go-to offensive force. They have no answer for him. Nobody does.”
